I cannot find the command to install shell commands to the path on the Command Palette in VS code for Ubuntu.Is it possible that something went wrong during the installation, or is there a solution that I am missing?

When I type in "Shell", my options are "Terminal: Allow Workspace Shell Configuration" and "Python: Run Selection/Line in Django Shell". There is nothing listed to Install a Shell command.

With latest version of vscode you should be able to ctrl + shift + p or cmd + shift + p (or whatever the hotkey is on ubuntu) and search for shell and then get what you see in the image.

enter image description here

It is said on the Vscode documentation: "Note: Users on macOS must first run a command (Shell Command: Install 'code' command in PATH)", so maybe the command is only available when running vscode from mac, and not ubuntu (and windows for that matter)? I don't know

Thanks! That seems to be correct. I tried it on a Mac and "Shell Command: Install 'code' command in PATH" was listed
If the answer was correct can you mark it as so? :-)
